Cartoon on Fatah website shows Trump as a shark toppling over the earth, on which are seen the Dome of the Rock and a Palestinian flag

Cartoon posted on the website of the Fatah Information, Culture, and Ideology Commission

The cartoon shows US President Donald Trump depicted as a shark with “veto” written in its mouth as it rams into a ship in the shape of the world. On the top of the world appears the Dome of the Rock and other buildings representing Jerusalem, and a Palestinian flag is flying from its masts. The cartoon refers to a US veto on a UN Security Council vote on Dec. 19, 2017, which rejected Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The UN General Assembly later passed a similar resolution of rejection on Dec. 21, 2017.

US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel - On Dec. 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and instructed the State Department to begin preparations to transfer the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump added that the final borders of Jerusalem will be determined during negotiations.
